Discount or factory second furniture warehouses London.

Hello I am new here. We have just recently moved into our home and everything needs decorating, and we need to start again really with furniture etc. Does anybody here know where there are any Factory outlets or Warehouses in or around London that sell end of lines or seconds etc for bargaib prices? I have looked at a few through Googling, but ones i am finding are selling their furniture for high prices! We need super bargains. Mainly sofa/suites and bedroom furniture. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

    Try ebay? I got an absolute steal on a current range of bedroom furniture from a Dreams warehouse - Basildon, Essex. Online pricing over 2K - purchased in warehouse for £500. Perfect and brand new

    In my experience the factory clearance type shops only sell stuff that was pretty expensive in the first place - so while they are good for getting expensive stuff at big reductions you're still looking at prices way higher than places like Ikea

    In Liverpool we have 'Bulky Bobs', i think it's organised by the city Council.
    As part of the recycling system they take stuff away then refurbish it and sell it on. The idea behind it being they are training unemployed people with skills and also supplying furniture to people who may otherwise struggle to get decent stuff.
    Maybe if you got in touch with your Council they may run a similar scheme.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

  • Ikea? Quite a lot of lower budget furniture.

    If you can take a look around the junk shops/house clearance places around your area. There is so much decent stuff in those places at times. And inexpensive as well. I would keep away from seconds and factory outlets - you don't get a lot for your money and not the best quality either.

    Look for them in your local phone directory or on line - second hand furniture.
